Hungary’s Magyar to amend the constitution to remove President Tamás Sulyok
Hungary’s Prime Minister Péter Magyar plans to amend the constitution to remove President Tamás Sulyok, appointed under former leader Viktor Orbán, as part of efforts to dismantle Orbán’s political system. Sulyok refused to resign by Magyar’s May 31 deadline, prompting the government to initiate removal procedures. Opposition figures and Sulyok’s office criticized the move as a misuse of authority and a threat to constitutional norms.
